Mechatronic control of a composite shell containing fluid

Abstract

In this paper, boundary control of a composite shell vibrations containing fluid (partially filled with a fluid) is studied. The linear boundary control laws consisting of forces and moments from the boundaries of the composite shell stabilize the vibrations. The fluid has free surface and boundary stabilization is attained without using in domain attached actuators. This research utilizes semigroup techniques and LaSalle invariant set theorem to prove the boundary stabilization.
